The United Nations Anti-Blasphemy Resolution aims to curtail speech that offends religion, specifically Islam. Critics, religious groups and free speech advocates say the resolution is spreading Sharia law to the Western world. Christopher Hitchens joined Lou.

  • This is video is extremely scary. If these Muslims are so sure that their horrid doctrines are true, why would they need to stop people from criticizing them? They're like a bunch of defensive, shrill little children.

  • No UN resolution is going to make god any less non-existent.

    Fucking stupid religionists.

  • This is bullshit. Only because they can find no way to offend atheists, they make laws.

  • As an atheist I see no reason why I should respect any religious belief or doctrine...

    ... especially given the fact the none of them respect me.

  • As with the previous post I made..... I don't just stand there screaming at people that they're going to Hell... I'm saying this to WARN them because I love them and don't want them to go to such a place... If I fail to do so, and they die in their sins...Their blood will be on my hands... and I will stand before God almighty one day and have to explain why I let them go to Hell by not telling them. I'm more afraid of disappointing and grieving my Lord than I am being punished by man

  • I have a Biblical mandate saying that Islam is accursed. ( Galatians 1:7-8 ).The highest court in this land cannot overturn that. I do want to get along with everyone. ( Romans 12: 18 ) . But I answer to a higher authority. Calling this mess for what it is is NOT hatred... The UN does not understand this.... THIS is an act of love and compassion by telling folks they're going to Hell and you don't want them to go because that place is so horrible.

  • Did this bill get passed in the end?

  • Aww did the wittle babies get their feewings hurt?

    God is dead and no one cares.

    If there is a hell, ill see you there.

  • I try to take a fair and thoughtful approach to issues concerning people's rights even if they fly in the face of my own values and I find those people's actions and beliefs offensive. But this is one of those times I find that perspective failing me and I have fears of having to reach for a gun to protect my basic rights.

  • where are the words of the Founding Fathers? Have they been censored??

    We´re in the 21st century & we are way behind what those people wnated for "the new world". Why??? Hello??

    There is & never has been a GOD!!! Grow up or shut up!

  • @ImperialUSA

    Well said, Sir.

  • People should not bash on the UN so hard. It is just a proposal. In fact, last week the UN adopted commentary stating that anti-deflamation-laws are incompatible with the UN-resolution. The document is called 'General Comment No.34 on Article 19'.
